Another corporation vs government war

The large corporations will play whatever tricks that they can to maximise profits. Governments should act** to the benefit of its citizens and thus keep the corporations under control. The EU has tried to do this and in some case succeeded - but they do need to do much more. Stopping the relocation of profits to some low tax country must be the next as is charging substantially different prices for the same thing in different countries.

** They should, but governments are controlled by people who are susceptible to 'persuasion' such as a high paying job when having left office or 'campaign or research contributions'.
